Pat's singer/songwriter resume has become a foundation for his continued success. He spent the 90’s with the award winning bands Big White Undies and My Friend Steve touring nationally. The Undies crossed paths and shared stages with the likes of Blues Traveller, Jump Little Children, Medeski Martin and Wood, Iggy Pop, The Village People and The Aquarium Rescue Unit, while My Friend Steve toured nationally and opened for bands like Pearl Jam and Sister Hazel. At the time, he enjoyed the challenges of the road, but eventually the constant touring led to a self-imposed exile in Gainesville, Florida.

It was in Gainesville that Pat made a connection that led him to writing the theme song for the feature length documentary called "Light in the Darkroom.” That project sparked his creativity and by the end of that same year, Pat’s music could be heard on the Travel Channel and two pilot TV programs. 2008 was filled with more touring and it brought Pat to the Atlantis Music Conference where his music was featured on the conference Sampler CD and he has continued that momentum into 2009.

Beneath his melodic strumming and poetic vocals resonates the influence of the great singer/songwriters. Pat describes his variation of songs as grave, truth to power, with a little bit of love. Patience and the use of his subconscious mind are the biggest parts of his song writing process. His songs, "Mine and Yours" and "Stepping Stones" resound with his personal experiences in love, while his "Song before the war" brings to mind political and social hope. His sound is honest and soulful. His musical talent and writing skills only help project the messages he is trying to share. Although he has been compared to Paul Simon, Patrick is just doing his own thing and working hard to become a better performer everyday.
